Roy Alonzo Allen injured another man during an Aug. 15 incident, court records show. Police haven't said how the men are related. Fort Payne police Chief Randy Bynum announced the arrest and charges in a news release today.

Allen used a "large stick with a nail in it" to assault the man, police wrote in court documents. Initially, Allen was charged with second-degree assault and a misdemeanor count of domestic violence. According to court records, Allen also pulled a gun on a woman during the incident.

A grand jury issues indictments when it determines prosecutors have enough evidence to take a case to trial. Bynum said Allen's Monday arrest stems from the indictments. Allen was taken to the DeKalb County Jail by Fort Payne police and the county's drug task force.

Further details about the case weren't immediately available.

If convicted of attempted murder, Allen faces up to 20 years in prison.
